Our 2012-13 Curriculum

Deciding on curriculum isn't always easy. We've had our share of ups and downs on the quest for the 'perfect' curriculum. However, keeping curriculum in its proper place and remembering it is a tool for our homeschool does wonders for me when selecting which curriculum to use.

I am looking into possibly using Rosetta Stone. I have not purchased it though because of the cost. Do you feel it is worth it?? Thanks! I have enjoyed looking into everyone's curriculum for the new year! You can find me at Learning 4 Keeps

Yes, I do feel it is worth the price. There are other prgrams that can be just as good for less, but we still prefer Rosetta Stone. My husband was the first to use it, and was very impressed from the first lesson onward.

Found you through the blog hop! I also have a kindergartener. It's fun to see what the older kids are doing too! Love that you're teaching Latin! How exciting! Looking forward to hearing more about what you're doing with your kinder this year! :)Andrea

Question: What did you start with when using IEW. Anything you recommend would be awesome. I want to start that program with three of my children probably next school year so they can do it all at the same time??? (I'll have a 2nd, 3rd and 5th grader by then)!

Sounds like great curriculum choices. My oldest is 5.5 and in Kindergarten. We are starting with My Father's World because I need a curriculum where I can combine them as much as possible. I have heard so much of Rosetta Stone. What grade does that start in?

That's a great question. I am not sure what the publisher recommends. For our family, we begin using it in the middle school grades after the child has completed a few years of Latin. The program seems pretty versatile/adaptable to me, but it probably depends on the child and situation.
